TV Critic Quote of the Day

Time's James Poniewozik, obliterating the Wednesday night monstrosity that was "Rosie Live":

Have Rosie or any of her producers checked the ratings for the Tony awards lately? If so, they might have realized that the cumulative audience for Spamalot shout-outs, tap-dancing kids, Liza Minnelli, artsy-circus acts, Harry Connick Jr., Long Island jokes, pie-in-the-face gags and vaudeville bits is, shall we say, limited. Though I'm sure there were a couple octogenarians in Great Neck who loved it.
I caught the first five minutes- and only because my mother was visiting and wanted to watch it- but that was all I could take.

Also a huge dud- the Stephen Colbert Christmas special, which had one moderately funny bit (the Jon Stewart song), while the rest sank like a stone. What, did they give the writing staff the week off or something?

The Colbert Christmas wasn't written by the show's entire writing team - there were only 4 names credited (vs ~12 for the usual), although I didn't check to see if they were on the usual roster.
